13 I think you did not read /usr/portage/net-dialup/pptpclient/pptpclient-1.7.2-
14 r2.ebuild :
15 "
16 DEPEND="net-dialup/ppp
17 dev-lang/perl
18 tk? ( dev-perl/perl-tk )"
19 RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
20 sys-apps/iproute2"
21 "
22 and 'man pptp':
23 "
24 By default, pptp establishes the PPTP call to the PPTP server, and then starts
25 an instance of pppd to manage the data transfer. However, pptp can also be run
26 as a connection manager within pppd.
27 "
28 In other words pptp works only in conjunction with pppd. My example configures
29 pptp:
30 'pptp ppp.lan --nolaunchpppd --nobuffer --loglevel 0'
31
32 http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_PPTP_Internet - good howto
33 http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PPTP - not so good, in Gentoo we do not need to
34 touch anything in /etc/ppp/
35
36 P.S. Thank you for your work! Native support of Gentoo configs in NM is must-
37 have feature.
